Hubby and i have a good understanding... He gets to buy & try any new gadget he fancies... as long as it improves my lifestyle too....
He wanted great sound for the computers, and DVD player / Hi-fi..... I bought 3 sets of 5.1 speakers (2 for computers, and 1 for the DVD player / Hi-Fi), and a set of speakers for each room in the house.... along wtih a central control unit....
His part of the game was installing everything and making sure that i can play music, from any computer, or the DVD player, to ANY speaker i chose in the house....
It took him 2 days of laying cables and cursing at the central control unit.... but once that was set up, we have never looked back.... its wonderful being able to turn on the radio and go anywhere in the house with music that you dont need to turn deafeningly loud to hear it in the bedroom.

There are 7 Network points in the house, the "audio network", the TV's and decoders are also connected, and along with that is the intercom cables, the alarm cables and the CCTV cables. AT least hubby had the brains to colour code everything... otherwise i would NOT want to hear him when he tries to find a fault.... )
